Adobe Photoshop Elements is similar to the full version in a lot of ways, but a bit easier to learn. If you are just learning Photoshop you may want to experiment with some of the easier features to learn at first. Here is how you can add text to a photograph using Adobe Photoshop Elements.

Instructions

Difficulty: Easy

Things You’ll Need:

  • Digitized photograph
  • Computer
  • Adobe Photoshop Elements

Step1
Open the program and open your photograph within the program by going to "File," and then "Open." Locate your image where it is saved, and then click "OK."
Step2
Look in your tool box for the tool that is represented by the letter “T”. Click on it. This is your text tool. Mouse over to your image and click on it where you want the text to be. Note, you can move the text later if it is not in the right spot.
Step3
Select the font and size of your text from the horizontal tool bar across the top of the program window. You will see options with pull-down menus for font, size, centering, etc.
Step4
Look for the color square at the bottom of the tool box. Click directly on it to select a color of the text.
Step5
Type directly on the image whatever you want it to say. Save your image.
Step6
Go back to the tool box and click on the selection tool, which looks like an arrow. With the arrow selected you can click on the text and move it around the image until it is where you want it to be. Save your image again.
